Slowly, he's also learning to handle splitting playing time. 大门从来不会害羞散发他的微笑 The stretch run has presented a new challenge for the 33-year-old Damon, who is adjusting to life as a part-time outfielder and designated hitter. With Melky Cabrera cementing center field and both Jason Giambi and Shelley Duncan vying for DH at-bats, Damon is grinning and bearing through whatever at-bats he can muster. 但他要面对新挑战 中外野的守备位置被小卡布拿走 还要和大吉和怪力肯分享DH "There was a day not so long ago when you'd show up to the ballpark and know you're leading off and playing center field," Damon said. "Now, it's different. You have to adjust for the team aspect of it. It'll all be better as long as we make the playoffs." 他说 以前都知道要来打第一棒守中外野 现在每天都不一样 这是为了球队要进季後赛 Damon was in his familiar Opening Day slot Friday, playing center field and leading off. More and more, that has become a guest appearance. 星期五他又回到熟悉的位置 但这样的机会越来越少 Yankees manager Joe Torre said he rested Cabrera because of Damon's strong career numbers against Tigers left-hander Nate Robertson -- Damon entered play hitting .471 (8-for-17) against Robertson, with a double, triple and five RBIs. 老托说让小卡布休息是因为大门打Robertson打得好 Torre said that Damon has handled the reduction with aplomb. In Thursday's game, with two runners on base and the Yankees looking to claw back against Justin Verlander, Torre swapped the left fielder Damon out for Duncan as a pinch-hitter. 老托说大门对现在的情况处理得很好 "He went in and changed shirts, came back out and became a cheerleader," Torre said. 老托说 必要的时候 他就进去换衣服变成啦啦队 Yet Damon, who has two more years under contract with New York, realizes that Cabrera is the Yankees' future in center field. After a slow start, the 23-year-old switch-hitter has caught fire, hitting .337 with six homers and 38 RBIs since May 30. 大门在洋基的合约还有两年 他也认知到小卡布是洋基未来的中外野手 "It's definitely something that I'll be thinking about," Damon said. "They have a number of things to address during the offseason. We'll just have to wait and see. I think they can pretty much pencil Melky in as the everyday center fielder for a number of years." 大门说 我会想 但现在要想的是季後赛 未来小卡布会是先发外野手 Fill-in Phillips? While Damon adjusts to his new role, first baseman Andy Phillips has also seen a shift in playing time recently. 正当大门在调整他的角色 飞利浦最近上场时间增加 Because the bench is stronger and several players are contributing significantly, including first basemen Duncan and Giambi, Phillips understands the change and said he is content with helping in any way he can. 因为板凳深度增强 有大吉还有怪力肯 "It's not different," Phillips said. "Once you see the lineup, when you're not in there at the beginning, you have to start trying to follow the game along and get yourself prepared for an opportunity of you getting in there. That's the only difference. Obviously, when you're playing, you know you're getting ready from the first pitch on, and when you're coming off the bench, you just have to think along with the game and when you might be used." 飞利浦说 看到打线表 如果不在上面 就要为代打准备 现在有先发 就只要想着比赛 Mo rest: The Yankees planned to play Friday without the services of closer Mariano Rivera, who is being offered a small oasis of rest as he handles a rocky patch to his season. 礼拜五不用Mo Rivera last appeared Wednesday against the Orioles, when he allowed three runs in the 10th inning -- including a two-run homer to Aubrey Huff -- and suffered the loss. In his previous appearance Monday, Rivera didn't convert his first save in 19 opportunities but still logged a win. Mo星期三上场被轰 星期一上场没有救援成功(这是他最近19次的第一次) Torre said that the intent is to keep Rivera out of action, but as always, game situations have a way of changing the blueprint. In Spring Training, Torre said he was steadfastly against Rivera pitching more than one inning, a rule the manager has since cracked numerous times. 老托虽然这样讲 但还是看比赛状况 春训时他说今年只用Mo一局 但还是黄牛好几次 "Again, we don't know if [the rest is] going to make a difference, but this is the way we're approaching it," Torre said. "If something happens and all of the sudden he's pitching, [then] he's pitching. This is our plan right now. ... I think it would have to be really a situation where we had no choice." 老托 这是原则啦 如果看到他投球就投啦 这是我们目前的计画 如果真的没有选择的话 Farns' worth: Right-handed reliever Kyle Farnsworth has quietly pieced together three good outings in a row, working his way back into the late-inning relief mix after requesting his use in more situations. 放肆火正慢慢恢复 目前已经连三局有不错表现 Farnsworth pitched a scoreless sixth inning around a walk Thursday and had fired two perfect innings in his previous pair of appearances, striking out a batter in each. Torre said that he was most excited about Farnsworth's pitch location, which was "electric down" in all three appearances. 星期四 投第六局没失分送出一次保送 前两次完美表现 各送出三振 老托对放肆火投球的位置感到兴奋 "He seems to be more comfortable coming into the game, and doesn't seem to be muscling the ball as much," Torre said. 老托说 他似乎比较舒服 Remembering Scooter: The family of Hall of Fame shortstop and longtime broadcaster Phil Rizzuto, who passed away Monday at 89, has requested donations to be made in lieu of flowers to: St. Joseph's School for the Blind, 761 Summit Ave., Jersey City, N.J., 07307. 纪念洋基名人堂游击手以及播报员Phil Rizzuto Rizzuto is expected to have a private wake and funeral this week near his longtime Hillside, N.J., home. Bombers bits: Two U.S. Navy F-18s will fly over Yankee Stadium on Saturday as the Yankees celebrate Military Appreciation Day. The U.S. Army Golden Knights will also parachute jump into Yankee Stadium. ... The Yankees have 32 home sellouts in 2007 and are averaging a Major League-best 52,355 fans per game. 星期六比赛有两架F-18飞机会飞过庆祝Military Appreciation Day Coming up: The Yankees play the third game of their four-game series with the Tigers on Saturday, sending right-hander Roger Clemens (4-5, 4.00 ERA) to the mound opposite right-hander Chad Durbin (7-5, 4.68 ERA).
